Articles from D4L-News:High-Yield Income Stocks Worth Every Penny
Investors are still having a hard time finding great income stocks. And with the Fed holding yields low for the foreseeable future, this is not going to change anytime soon. It also doesn’t help that the search for yield over the past few years has pushed the price of many traditional income stocks to levels that are not justified by the underlying fundamentals of the companies. Buying a higher-yielding stock will not be a very satisfactory experience if the stock drops by four or five times the amount paid out in dividends. Investors, even those in search of income stocks, need to use Portfolio Grader to select the very best stocks with excellent fundamentals...The Single Best Way To Beat The Market With Dividend Stocks

The best dividend stocks are not just the ones that offer big payments right now. After all, big dividends are nice … but pretty meaningless if your high dividend stocks also give you very low share performance.
